Making use of my video account so feel free to watch it or read below! Also, it seems the non US people can’t see the video – can ANYone from another country view the video? Just wondering. Today we’re talking about the first funds spent on from the Angel Fund, congratulations to three of our fellow commentors here, a case of swagger, and why do some people buy PLR not knowing what it is?

Okay happy Friday everyone! I’m excited – my hubby has friends coming in so we have company. I’ll have my kiddos home with me for the weekend – LOVE this weather. All is right with the world.

Angel Funds

So first of all, you’ll see a new update in the Angel Fund page. I had two men who I’ve been corresponding with – I won’t be giving out names, etc. Both are over 40 with smaller children and families. Both have proven they know some things and have tried hard, some with small success, but nothing enough to support a family.

The Angel Fund used up $69 on these two people last night and today. Here’s how: One person got the Grammar guide because he developed a good business model on his own, proved his talent and drive and determination and willingness to take constructive criticism. That was $1. He just needed a little polishing to develop repeat buyers and a sturdy reputation.

The other person got PLR ATM for $1 and Ghostwriting Cash for $67. I want this person to work on the two simultaneously. He needed no help with writing, just the business aspect of it. He also offered up front to put what little he had in PayPal toward the Angel Fund. I told him to hold off for a little bit until he has a few dollars coming in and THEN pay it forward like that – because I know he might need that $20 for a Warrior For Hire ad or a domain, etc., and I’m not paying for domains, hosting, etc., out of those funds.

But he was thinking of giving before he even knew I was offering anything. He was $2 and some change short for PLR ATM so he only wanted to borrow the $2. Very cool. But as I spoke with him more about his situation, I realized he needed to follow my advice and begin with GWC, which costs a lot more.

By the way, I mentioned last week that there might be someone who I would spend part of the Angel Funds on – that person wound up not being a right fit. I’m weeding out good prospects for your hard earned dollars! So now we have $796 left to help others with.

Congratulations on Some People Here!

We have a few people we all chit chat with here in the blog comments. I want to give a few shout outs today to:

Sharon – who just had a sweet little baby boy recently! Congratulations! By the way, she’s the sweetheart who, right before going into labor, contributed to the Angel Fund herself – amazing! I want another baby but the hubby says no to that I’d have a million if I could!

Tiffiney Cowan – a PLR ATM student who emailed me to let me know how excited she is. Launched her store and got her first customer 2 days later. Got positive feedback from her customer. And had a repeat buyer for her next pack! I know it’s exciting when you start seeing sales. And I love to hear about those successes! Congratulations!

Dave Stewart - he and I have been chatting via email about getting his ghostwriting business going. He was encouraged to network in the WF and spiff up his website, and he’s been working hard! Well he emailed me this morning with news of a nibble on his services. So congratulations! UPDATE: Dave got the gig!

Don’t Buy Things Unless You Know What They Are

I never do this – even for $1. LOL Maybe I’m cheap. But I got a refund request for a PLR pack (sorry, Charlie – no refunds on PLR) because the lady bought and had no clue what PLR was. She bought and then wanted confirmation that they were unique articles for her that she could put on article directories.

You’re not going to get $1 per page ghostwriting of that caliber. Won’t happen. But if I go buy something called PLR content and I don’t know what it is, I’m gonna Google it. Just a little reminder for those who buy blindly.

It’s also just not a good thing to do on products, period. It’s inconsiderate. I have some people refund a ClickBank product because they say, “Oh I thought your Ghostwriting Cash product” would teach me how to write. Now if they read the sales copy, which you SHOULD, it would be very specific that it’s not that at all. So now they’re contributing to a refund rate – and no one can differentiate between a refund that’s because of a poor product versus a refund because the customer didn’t take care to see what they were buying.

So be considerate of all sellers.

Got Swagger?

My son cracks me up. My oldest Dylan – he’s talking to me about speech class and how nervous he is, and i told him everyone’s nervous and the best thing he can do is get up there and engage his audience (walk around, no notes, talking etc) and they’ll all be going, “Oh crap I don’t want to go after HIM!” And he agreed.

So this morning he texted me about how everyone was nervous and one girl couldn’t even do her speech at ALL. I told him to just go in with his swagger. He said: “What do YOU know about swagger?” I told him I got swagger!! I said over 9,000 people subscribe to my swagger. LOL! I was talking to him previously about how terrified I was to do video marketing, but now many of my readers are paralyzed and I’m not anymore. He said, “Were you kidding about the 9,000+ people?”

I guess that sounds like a HUGE amount to someone not in IM but compared to guru 100K lists, it’s not So I said yes, I have over 2,500 UNIQUE visitors per day to my blog checking out my swagger. He’s laughing at (with?) me. LOL! Ah well, can’t ever be cool to your kids, can you?

Alright I’m off with my bad self now. Time to write up a list of materials we need for the play. This room mom stuff is a lot of work! Have a great weekend everyone!

Tiff
